Medium Frequency Currents – Interferential Therapy in Bangalore
Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic provides Interferential Therapy (IFT), an effective medium- frequency electrotherapy treatment for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and promotion of tissue healing. The therapy uses mild electrical currents to penetrate the muscles and nerves, providing a natural pain-relieving experience that will facilitate healing without medication.
What is Interferential Therapy (IFT)?
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a medium-frequency electrical stimulation used in physiotherapy for pain relief and promoting healing. Low-frequency currents are created at the source of injury through the skin by using two distinct medium frequencies currents that somewhat with each other. The low-frequency current stimulates nerves and muscles while reducing pain signals and improving blood circulation, mobilizing the body natural healing process without muscle discomfortable twitch or irritation.

Sciatica and Nerve Pain

Post-Surgical Swelling

How Does IFT Work?
IFT has the use of two medium-frequency electrical currents, having a frequency of between 4000—5000 Hz, that are transmitted through electrodes placed on the skin. When the two currents cross each other within the tissues, a therapeutic “beat frequency” (average between 1- 150 Hz) is created that stimulates deep nerves and muscles under the skin. This interference decreases pain by blocking the pain signals from traveling up to the brain (known as the Gate Control Theory of Pain), and stimulates natural healing through improved circulation and cellular activity.
